Cloth diapers...

I likea using cloth diapers, but, I find it at times inconvenient. I do a lot outings and I carry a bag pack with our snacks and extra change clothing, a bag with toys, a bag with swimsuits and towels. And when I have children in cloth diapers in my care I have also to carry a stinky wet bag. Even in playgroups my attention was called when somebody mentioned that the room stinks.

I'm not sure how you feel about this but, I absolutely do not like the idea carrying poop close to the children's snaks even if it is in a bag. I personally would not eat my food if it was close to a poopy diaper so, I do not do that to my children. The inconvenience is to carry around the dirty ones around especially during hot summers.

I also have experienced that one of my little ones started to develop a certain kind of skin condition around the bottom so, she was.diagnosed with developing a certain type of fongus. So, needles to say her parents disposed all the cloth diapers and we started potty training at 18 months. And the second child used disposables and we trained him early too. In many years of experience using cloth diapers this was the first time seeing this kind of skin condition.

Also the parent of the little girl mentioned that they've done their research etc. And they really support the environment matters, but he mentioned that actually it wasn't the cost. He explained that they were using their washing and dryer machine almost every day, the diapers smelled and they had to do it. So he realized that his water and electricity bills went higher. Considering that his children were trained sooner the cost of buying disposable diapers where less than buying expensive cloth diapers and the time an maintenance of those.

I never discourage parents of using cloth diapers if they have the time they can do so. But, also I have noticed that some parents bring the cloth diapers to daycare and they keep their children in disposables in their homes or when they go out ��.
